Pastoral Land Management
"In the arid lands of Kenya, the social structure system associated with traditional pastoralism has evolved useful mechanisms for achieving sustainable resource utilization within fragile dryland environments. The sustainability of traditional pastoralism in Kenya is no longer feasible due to the increasing pressure on a shrinking resource base. This uncertainty with the sustainability of this traditional life style, calls for a radical shift in thinking from traditional to commercial pastoralism. Commercial pastoralism allows for the emergence of dynamic pastoralism which adapts quickly to technological changes and evolving market conditions in a fast changing pastoral environment. Whereas...
Rural Water Supply and Sanitation

Strayed Homes
"Strayed Homes explores the blurring of public and private space. But whereas most writing about the public/private focusses on urban space, Strayed Homes focusses on the domestic - exploring those overlooked, everyday places where private and intimate activities take place in public. With four chapters set in four small, liminal spaces: the launderette, the greasy spoon, the fire escape, and the sleeper train - the book is part architectural history, part cultural history. It follows a series of allusions and impressions, to explore how films, adverts, books and anecdotes shape experiences of everyday architecture. Making a case for the poetic interpretation of space, the book can be used as a sourcebook for architects and designers as well as for theorists. It invites the reader - by embracing the notion of the 'strayed home' - to think again about concepts that are commonly invoked in the fields of architecture and urbanism, such as 'private', 'public' and 'home', and to rethink the emotional state of leaving home, intimacy in public, and lonely dreaming"--

Kenya: A Natural Outlook
Comprehensive hydrogeological investigations of Kenya as country have been carried out within various geological settings that range from volcanic terrains and associated quaternary sediments, through sedimentary terrains of northern and coastal Kenya to areas underlain by metamorphic rocks. The objective of the study was to establish groundwater occurrence and distribution in country including characterization of the aquifer properties. The aspects considered in this study of groundwater include: underlying geology, aquifer geometry, groundwater levels in the aquifer, groundwater flow and recharge, specific capacity and transmissivity of the aquifer. The study commences with a systematic an...
